Educator Portal

Teacher and leader quality are the most important school-based factors in determining student success. Educator quality is initially dependent upon robust preparation, certification and recruitment processes. It is then strengthened by high-quality professional development informed by accurate and useful evaluations.

The educators' portal contains the information, guidance and resources for our teachers and leaders in New Jersey to:

Support their own professional development, learning and certification processes;

Support instruction of all students to be college and career-ready; and

Share resources and opportunities for parents and school communities to recognize our educators' hard work.

Standards are the foundation of teaching and learning. In addition to nine sets of NJ Student Learning Standards, there are additional expectations in various areas such as special education and early childhood.

ESSA emphasizes state- and district-level accountability for ensuring that every child receives the best possible education. Major components of the accountability system are NJ's state assessments and comprehensive performance reports.
